A Reiki attunement is the process by which a person receives the ability to give Reiki treatments. The attunement is administered by the Reiki Master during the Reiki class. During the attunement, the Reiki Master will touch the students head, shoulders, and hands and use one or more special breathing techniques.

The attunement energies will flow through the Reiki Master and into the student.

During the attunement, some students feel warmth in the hands, others may see colors or have visions of spiritual beings.

Most simply feel more relaxed.
